case 50 ballcock. wall hung toilet

11-20-2010, 09:48 AM

my customer has 4 vintage case wall hung toilets with case 50 ballcocks. as far as i know, there is no toilet that will fit the case carrier. it's a 2 bolt design and not sure if there is even a tank type wall mount still out there.

1 of the ballcocks developed a large leak from the 3/8'' brass shank riser inside the china dry well. fortunately the dry well overflowed into the tank and went down the overflow.

rookie tracked me down a new ballcock assy on the internet. so i think that will work out for the customer. but what happens when the toilet actually breaks. are there any toilets still out there that will bolt onto the wall carrier?

the shank has a leak between the screwdriver stop and the inlet on the bottom of the tank. not going to attemt to repair until i have the parts.

I had never heard of a two bolt carrier untill this moment. Let's assume worst Case (no pun intended ) and you can't get a replacement toilet with two bolts. And if changing the carrier in the wall is out of the question

If you can get a toilet with essentially the same outlet dimension above the finished floor perhaps you can alter the holes by drilling new ones?

Or maybe you'll get lucky and locate a three bolt toilet and just not use the bottom bolt? If the C-C on the two bolts don't line up either use a die grinder or diamond hole saw to make the modificorrection. I just looked at Kohler quickly and didn't see any three hole wall hung toilets with tanks. They did have a flushometer type that might possibly fit. K-4450-C. We know how you love Kohler. (I didn't see any three holers on AmStan.com)

If you ever had to change that wall hung WC, try cutting into the wall
and see if that carrier has another pair of holes for a four bolt pattern.
If so, then a couple pieces of all-thread will take care of the problem.
Then you can install a four bolt WC. I know everything is different out
there in la-la land, but I've never seen an exclusively 2 bolt carrier.
